This post marks the beginning of my weight training journey. After playing golf for most of my life with little to no weight training, I decided when I retired from golf to pick up some weights and start getting stronger.

I didn’t want to go about my weight training ignorantly, however. I learned from others who were experienced lifters and I did my research to create a program that would benefit me and my fitness goals.

Some excellent sources for beginners who want to learn the basics of weight training (and even for those more experienced) include: Scott Herman and Jeff Nippard.

I intend to strengthen my body as a whole and I believe weight training is a great way to accomplish this. I also believe a stronger body is a safer body. I look forward to the progress I will make in this strength training journey and I hope you can benefit from reading about my novice experiences.
